26 <br /> hydraulic conductivity of the soil. However, snturated soil <br /> in acsociation with hydric soil morpholuqy is a reasonable <br /> indicator of wetland hydroloqy. � <br /> Due to the seasonality of precipitation in the Pacific <br /> Northweat a poaitive indicator of wetland hydroloqy (i.e. , <br /> enturation) may not be present durinq all seasons o! the <br /> year. Durinq the drier seasons, the presnnce of hydric soil <br /> morpholoqy and hydrophytic veqetation can imply watland <br /> hydrology. However, cara must ba taken when implicating <br /> watland hydroloqy from soil m� cphology because hydric soil <br /> morpholoqy may pereiet even w: ,:n vntland hydroloqy is no <br /> longar preaent, as in drainad soils. 11 drained hydric soil <br /> is not a wetland if it lails to support hydrophytic <br /> vaqetation (Cowardin et al. 1979; Soil Coneervation Service <br /> 1985) . on the other hand, the lack of hydric soil <br /> m�pholoav does not necessarily precluda an area from having <br /> wetland hydrology or being wetland. Therefore, care must be <br /> mada in interpreting soil and veqetation inYormation in <br /> reqarda to its relevance to hydrology. <br /> I <br />
